Ignore the cover... this is quite a good game. You control 'Micro Micky' who is on the run from 'Uncle Claude' (who looks remarkably like Sir Claude, that well-known used car salesman). This enigmatic figure fires Spectrums at the hapless Mick, who can retaliate only by shunting strange blocks that litter the screen into him.

A conveyor sits at the bottom of the screen, moving from right to left. You must shunt all the blocks down to the conveyor belt, where they disappear off-screen. Once all the blocks are gone, a key appears. Roll over the key to hit the next level.

Weird custard pie bonuses appear, BBCs cruise downward at intervals and other obstacles appear at later levels, including a mobile barrier between you and the conveyor belt. It's refreshing to see that the characters change at each level, instead of the same old symbol every time.

While lacking the length and depth of something like Jet Set Willy, everything is certainly better animated and a lot more fun. Neat!
